Chords

[Verse] [Single Strums]
Em              D
Dreamed I had a cutting stone

D               Em
Dreamed I held it all my own

Em                   D
It cut through wire, wood, and bone
D Em (Continuous Strumming from here) I'll cut you down, my cutting stone [Chorus]
G                D
Cutting stone oh fear me none

D                Em
Whether wild or whether won

G                D
Though I travel far from home

D                Em
I'll always have my cutting stone
[Verse 2]
Em           D
Wandering, I chanced upon

D               Em
A wayward child lost anon

Em                D
And when he laid across my chest

D                   Em
My cutting stone it did the rest
[Chorus]
G                D
Cutting stone oh fear me none

D                Em
Whether wild or whether won

G                D
Though I travel far from home

D                Em
I'll always have my cutting stone
[Verse 3]
Em          D
In a valley green and wide

D                    Em
A suitor wept for a dying bride

Em                     D
And when he turned his eyes on me

D                   Em
A cutting stone did set him free
[Chorus]
G                D
Cutting stone oh fear me none

D                Em
Whether wild or whether won

G                D
Though I travel far from home

D                Em
I'll always have my cutting stone
[Instrumental] Em D Em D [Chorus]
G                D
Cutting stone oh fear me none

D                Em
Whether wild or whether won

G                D
Though I travel far from home

D                Em
I'll always have my cutting stone
[Verse 4] [Single Strums]
Em           D
There upon a mountaintop

D                   Em
I looked down on to what I'd wrought

Em                D
And when I saw my labors through

D                Em             [Back to regular strumming]
I cut my cutting stone in two

G                D
Cutting stone oh fear me none

D                Em
Whether wild or whether won

G                D
Though I travel far from home

D                Em
I'll always have my cutting stone

D                Em
I'll always have my cutting stone
[Outro] [Single Strums]
D                Em
I'll cut you down, my cutting stone
